Well, I'm torn. On the one hand, the article includes the standard
advice that we all support: no flashing icons and banners, no long pages
with excessive scrolling down, no Flash splash pages, etc.
On the other hand, we have this gem: "You need to represent your
corporate image, which should reflect company ideals." Holy bromide,
Batman, is that consultant paid by the hour or by the word?
